The B-Ark / Boston United's most famous manager at it again!
« on: March 19, 2024, 06:26:51 PM »
Steve just can't help himself. At the age of 61 years old you would have thought he would have mellowed; but NO! A leopard never changes his spots.

The B-Ark / Norwich United FC - the end
« on: September 15, 2023, 08:12:54 AM »
Sadly, after 2 months of turmoil which saw the manager, every member of the technical staff (including the groundsman) and every single player leave the club (and the same again at the start of September!), my beloved Norwich United FC have been forced to withdraw from the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties Premier League. They will try and exist only as an U-21 side in the Anglian Combination Div 1 and as an U-18 side in the midweek Thurlow Nunn Youth League. I have no idea what the intentions are with the Club's Sunday morning junior set-ups. The last game played, a League equalling 12-0 home defeat by Thetford Town, was the last straw as 15 out of the 16 players selected were from the Youth set-up. The Club have shown real poor communication skills with the media and fans alike and getting any information out of the new Media Officer was - and is - like getting blood out of a stone. There have been allegations of assaults concerning the latest manager and former players alike plus a story of secret filming in the changing rooms - all of which can be read about on social media. https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/23790410.norwich-united-fc-withdraw-thurlow-nunn-premier/ During the last 2 weeks the Secretary, Photographer and the Tea Kiosk owners all resigned and even I had to step aside as public address announcer. The Norfolk FA are carrying out investigations but I understand that there is no police involvement. I will miss the fellow supporters on a Saturday afternoon and the banter amongst us but will move on and watch other local football in my area.

The B-Ark / Steve Evans new boss at Stevenage
« on: March 17, 2022, 08:31:59 AM »
I see that Mr Evans has now been appointed manager of Stevenage. No doubt Mr Raynor will be joining him there too!  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60774181

The B-Ark / FA Cup 3rd qualifying round - is it still a regionalised draw?
« on: September 19, 2021, 11:18:07 AM »
Can Norwich United be drawn against Boston United in the next round?! Ken and/or Scotty need your extensive knowledge on this! Is it still a regionalised draw and, if so, what clubs could Boston United be meeting.

The B-Ark / Congratulations to Michael Emery - FA Vase finalist!
« on: May 18, 2021, 02:28:25 PM »
Congratulations must go out to former Pilgrim's keeper and my ex-gym instructor Michael Emery! He will be in the Warrington Rylands squad this weekend for their FA Vase Final against Binfield. Not bad - from playing for Skegness Town in the Lincolnshire League to Wembley! Well done mate!  B) B)

The B-Ark / Floodlight down

Looks like one of the floodlights at the Jakemans Community Stadium has blown down.

Glad that no-one was injured.

REALLY CLOSE contest involving the only Pilgrims team which seem to be playing at the moment! Watch it on iPlayer if you've missed it. Credit to the Town and Club!

The B-Ark / "Spenny on the big stage"
« on: October 07, 2019, 07:41:58 PM »
Page 4 of the week's NLP. Spennymoor Town have been CHOSEN by the English Schools FA to stage an England Schoolboys International in April. Congratulations? Perhaps we could pass them on when we meet them later (should have been earlier!) in the season. It's a funny old game...…...so can we now have our 3 points, please?

The B-Ark / Lincolnshire Football League
« on: May 11, 2018, 09:34:22 PM »
Not everyone's cup of tea this competition, but does anyone know what is going on as far as who is actually the champions of this 10 club league which was granted Step 7 accreditation at the start of the season? Ruston Sports are currently showing as 1 point with a game in hand behind leaders Skegness Town, who have completed their programme. Ruston's game in hand was due to be against Grimsby Borough Academy and arranged/re-arranged for 7th May but mysteriously no result is showing - not even as postponed - and there is nothing on either club's twitter! The League's own website is also annoyingly quiet about it too. I think Skegness Town also applied to play at Step 6 (North Counties East Division One possibly?) next season, but not sure if this was dependant on them retaining their title or not. Answers on a postcard?

The B-Ark / Youth Team today v Long Eaton Utd
« on: February 07, 2018, 06:47:33 PM »
Played on the artificial pitch at Skegness Town FC this cold afternoon we lost 5-1 to a very well drilled Steve Welsh side. Always had a lot of respect for Steve and it still rankles that the club never publically thanked him for his contribution in the earlier post-Evans days. Good also to see JB!

The B-Ark / Skegness Town FC
« on: January 26, 2018, 03:00:00 PM »
I see that Skegness Town have applied to play Step 6 football from next season although, and I may be wrong on this, this could be dependent on whether they retain the, now Step 7, Lincolnshire League title. Personally, I think they should have applied for promotion last year when they had a stronger squad but this is the first season they have had the chance to play on the grass pitch at their nearly 2 year old stadium. They are currently only placed 7th out of 11 teams so far this season and competed with a very much weakened squad for the first half of the campaign. The Lincolnshire League was given Step 7 accreditation at the beginning of the season but has, as in most years, been plagued with withdrawals and teams conceding games which is an affront to the hard work carried out by it's Committee members and sponsors who have tried not only to restore the League's former good reputation but also to enhance it.

The B-Ark / Youth Team
« on: April 05, 2017, 11:24:54 PM »
Another win, this time 4-0 away to Rushden & Diamonds means that only 1 point is now required from the last 2 games to secure the League title for the best set of lads currently wearing BUFC shirts. Well done again to Bunny and team. Come on folks, let's make sure that the Board recognise the Youth Team's achievements this season when the trophies are handed out after the final first team home game of the year!
